I had heard some rumors before, which made Xin Lilin's sense of Xiao Ye not very good, that is, the trafficking of human beings to the Persians, in the eyes of scholars, was simply a lack of virtue that defied the world's condemnation.

But after more than a month of observation, Xin Weilin was a little puzzled, the novelty goods that kept popping up, it was obvious that Xiao Ye was selling them on behalf of the Persians, and the profits in them did not have to be done to buy and sell human beings at all.

And now, he even wants to spend money to buy those homeless people and outcasts for resettlement, also because of the lack of manpower, he can't say that he has good intentions, but he definitely doesn't break his heart. For those displaced people who have nowhere to live and prisoners who are displaced at the border gates, this kind of human trafficking is tantamount to doing good deeds.

Perhaps, it was Xin Weilin who misinterpreted the hundred households and made suggestions to test Xiao Ye, but he was a little confused in his heart, and he didn't find any signs of human trafficking in Xiao Ye......

If you want to say that you secretly raise private soldiers in Bailong Lake, where Shiguantun is located, the sergeants are frequently injured, even if Xiao Ye raises thousands of sergeants, Xin Weilin will not be surprised, here and the Tartars have a mortal enemy, and there are merchants staring at them, and if they can't keep it, they will hand over knives one day, or the command envoys and officials are also watching the excitement.

In this case, if Xiao Ye was holding a hundred or so sergeants with a buckle and rope, and he didn't want to increase his strength, he Xin Weilin would have to find a way to leave as soon as possible. Scholars are high, but not stupid, and the scourge of being smashed under the dangerous wall can be avoided.

Of course, compared with the Ming border army, if Xiao Ye illegally stationed troops on Shiguantun's side, it would be stupid; At this point, the sergeant can go to the side wall to set off some wind and waves, and if he makes the wind and rain, he will be sent to death, Xin Weilin doesn't think that Xiao Ye dares to fight against the Qianhu Institute, let alone command the envoy.

Like Yang Tianshou, as long as Xiao Ye does not lead troops to cross the stone pass, scholars like Xin Weilin and Li Xunwu will only turn a blind eye, and if they don't commit the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, they will not be considered to have a backbone, and they can still be tolerated.

Guarding Shiguantun and controlling Yonghetun is an officer's ambition, and his means are a bit tricky, Xin Lilin appreciates but disagrees, but he will not converge with an officer who has no personal character and morality.

Fortunately, Xiao Ye didn't have the idea of human trafficking, and the excuse he wanted to fight earlier didn't work, and after some words, Xin Weilin was quite satisfied, and Yang Tianshou, who taught in a private school in Tunli, seemed to be supervising his son-in-law.

Three stones of grain is barely enough for a family of four to survive a winter, but there is no oil and water in the stomach, and I am afraid it will be difficult to survive. But what about the twelve stones, it was definitely a beautiful winter, it depended on how much money Xiao Ye had in his hand.

Giving food to those who are about to be sent Xiao Ye will not do it, becoming his own military household, and contributing in Bailong Lake and the mill is the minimum standard for him to distribute food, and he can't even think about the matter of promoting favor and fighting revenge.

After Xin Weilin and Xiao Ye discussed, he wrote back to Baodes and took out the intention to buy labor, of course, if he received a reply from the Wang and Huang families, I am afraid it will be more than ten days later.

Three taels per person, three hundred taels for one hundred, and three thousand taels for a thousand people, exceeding the high-profit business of selling grain, in the face of almost no cost of homeless people and prisoners, as soon as the number is large, I am afraid that even the Wang family and the Huang family will also be tempted. What's more, Xiao Ye still has to use the goods to redeem the grain, a good thing for pies in the sky.

If the three merchants twist together and deal with Xiao Ye together, then Shiguantun and Yonghe Tuntunbao will have changed to a new hundred households a long time ago.

It was Xiao Ye's first step in advance, it was just a whim, and it also made Tian Xiuxiu's delicate body dazzled, and now it seems that the gap between merchants is getting bigger and bigger; In that way, Xiao Ye will have a chance to profit from it.

The Zhuchuan Mountain Banner Team was destroyed, Jiang Jie was disabled and retired, and the government did not get any news of the murderer, but only raised some death row prisoners from the prison and killed the guilty, but the Wang and Huang families found traces of suspected Xiao Ye from the lead projectile that appeared at the same time.

Although there are a small number of rear-loading guns/guns in Gansu Town, they are all guarded by officers, and the equipment of the big businessmen and wealthy Jiajia guards is the best, not to mention far away, there are only Xiao Ye's sergeants nearby. As for the rifle, Xiao Ye doesn't sell it at all, and he doesn't sell it for any money.

There are some things, as long as you have a heart, and then sink your heart to find them, you may not be able to find the signs inside; The rifle bullet in Yonghetun can be found by Fang Shanshui's people, but others may not be able to find it.

As for the Tian family, although it was speculated that his young lady was robbed and may be implicated in Shiguantun, he could not find out without evidence, so he could only secretly collect news and wait for Tian Xiuxiu to appear. If Tian Xiuxiu was really robbed by horse thieves, in the face of the instigation of the Huang and Wang families, they would have room to recover.

When Tian Xiuxiu followed the pack team and came to Shiguantun to meet Mei'er and the two daughters, the sound of horses' hooves in the Shiguan Gorge was bursting, and the Tartars' brigade came from Shuangta Lake and drove straight to Shiguantun.

This time, the Mongolian cavalry who came south to threshing grass was still the headquarters of the Wanhu Shingle Wolf, and Lanaite took his cavalry and cooperated with the Little Prince's brigade to attack Qingfeng Valley.

With the collapse wolf of the last lesson, this time he invested a lot of money, not only brought 5,000 cavalry, but also the artillery he got from the little prince, six Huzun bronze cannons, and even the gunners were Han slaves, and the Ming gunners captured in the early years.

The wolf not only brought artillery, but also ten cartloads of sulfur and fire oil, all of which were purchased from the Han caravans, and if you want to vent your anger, you must set fire to the mountain, and you should be able to burn it up the mountain in winter.

In the depths of the canyon, the two scouts blew the letter whistle and the jumping thunder on the side of the saddle, and all four of them pressed into the residual snow on the ground, and ran in the direction of Shiguantun after beating their horses.

The continuous limestone in the canyon made the vine grass spread much slower, and it also struggled to grow upward on the two stone walls, but gave way to the mountain path below; Xiao Ye's trick of sealing the canyon with rattan grass did not materialize this year.

When Xiao Ye got the news, the forward of the Tartar horse team had already stepped on the thunder, and after Peng Peng's slight explosion, the rumbling sound echoed, shrapnel flew and stone chips shot indiscriminately, and a dozen or so cavalry companies howled and shook and fell off their horses, and the war horses screamed and jumped with blood all over their bodies.

But with just a few jumping mines, they couldn't stop the horse team pouring into the canyon at all.

"Didi, Di," the sharp suona sound sounded in Shiguantun, and the sergeants on the training ground, carrying fires/guns and rifles, gathered in formation and ran towards the quarry stone fort.

The team of craftsmen in the quarry, although the number of people was less than half of the previous one, because the old Yangkou Tunbao mill had started, still put down their work in an orderly manner, and opened the wooden door of the warehouse under the supervision of the sergeant guarding the stone fort.

Ning Zhongyang, who was healing from his injuries and was working in the mill, and a few sweaty sergeants dropped the straw bags in their hands and picked up the fire/gun crossbow in the corner; Count their fate, according to the military regulations of the hundred households, this time to engage the Tartars, once they can pass this level alive, they can return to the flag team in advance.

Boxes of projectiles, grenades, and earth-shattering thunderbolts, without waiting for the flag team of the training ground to rush back, had already been carried to the corridor on the fort wall; When the fast horses ran back to the scouts on the hill and rushed into the gap in the low gable, some craftsmen went out with iron boxes and laid thunderbolts on the mountain road.

All these busy but not chaotic scenes, so that Xiao Ye on the wall of the stone fort of No. A put away the binoculars with confidence, he was studying the military products in the picture in the mill today, but he didn't expect to see this scene when he came out.

"Three provinces, your military advisor has good means, Shi Dao can be regarded as having a helper," the pressure on his shoulders was light, and Xiao Ye's solemn face was full of a smile; Xin Weilin has a very high level of understanding, and his current understanding of the book on war is probably even deeper than Xiao Ye.

What's more important is that he now has another book in his hand, "Infantry Tactical Drills", Xiao Ye just got it, and let this Xiucai who likes to study snatch it, if he has actual combat experience in the future, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Xiao Ye to catch up with the vision of military warfare.

"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed, the three provinces are just talking on paper, and the rest depends on the decision of the hundred households," Xin Weilin, who was sitting in a wheelchair, had a thick cotton hand on his lap, and his hands were hidden in it holding a small hand warmer, and he didn't feel cold at all in winter.

"Brother Liu Ren got the letter whistle there, and it is estimated that the workshop area in the back mountain also knows, and within two cups of tea, Lao Yangkou Tunbao will also get the news of the Tartars," said lightly, Xin Weilin looked at the stone pass under the mountain with a smile, "I'm here, watching hundreds of households meet the enemy,"

"Okay, then the official will go first," Xiao Ye laughed, put the telescope in the side pocket of Xinzhulin's wheelchair, and strode away with the guards. The vigorous back made Xin Weilin very envious.

Xiao Ye took the guards to the stone fort in front, and in the stone fort No. A, Wang Ziliang's heralds immediately took over the defense of the stone fort, and they also had the task of transporting ordnance and materials forward.

Wang Ziliang sat in the courtyard hall of the hundred households, on a cold day, the door of the house was open, and a stove was placed next to his feet, which was also cold, and he was carrying a pistol in his arms, and his main responsibility was to protect the families of the hundred households in the opposite room, and to deal with military affairs by the way.

Later, Xin Xiucai will also come back, and the two of them will sit here and wait until the end of this battle against the Tartars.

In the Houshan workshop area, the carriages hurried to the fork in the crackling horsewhip, and the three craftsmen and hundreds of hired craftsmen, under the supervision of the deacon, took their own packages and hurriedly hitched a ride and walked away from here, they had to rush to Laoyangkou Tunbao as soon as possible, and it would be safe to enter the stone fort.

In the large courtyard of the workshop area, the ore scattered next to the wheelbarrow, the flat basket can be seen everywhere, the tools discarded in the mill and the room, the steaming tea cans on the table, and the hot stove have been helplessly abandoned.

This time, the five B-shaped stone mills were quickly carried into the carriage by the craftsmen who had been prepared for a long time, and they were pulled away with a bang. This is the merchant's treasure, how can the Tartars see it again, in case it is snatched, they will not be able to cry.

Passing by the flow of people who fled to the south, there was a team of fast horses, guarding the old sheep's mouth fire pier, under the leadership of Wang Dali, divided twenty people to ride horses to support Shiguantun; The twenty sergeants who followed behind, Zhang Zichang dragged them for a distance.

The horse team in front ran away, and Zhang Zichang took the sergeant to the avenue near Shiguan to get off his horse and unload the iron box from the reserve horse; Here, a long minefield should be laid out to block the road, and the provincial Tartars will be the same as last time, unable to hit Shiguantun and rushing south.

The old sheep's mouth fire pier, three black and gray smoke pillars rose straight up, and wolf smoke was lit in the fire pool on the platform, but there was no one in the pier, and this dilapidated fire pier was much stronger and taller than the stone castle in front of it.

Lao Yangkou Tunbao, under the leadership of the flag officer, sergeants and servants with all kinds of weapons, have begun to climb the fort wall.

If it weren't for the fear of being investigated by thousands of households and the trouble of the province, Xiao Ye would have wanted to abolish the fire pier a long time ago, and the stone castle wall was much higher than the fire pier.

As long as Shiguantun can involve the Tartars, Lao Yangkou Tunbao will be much safer, there are Ma Gui pressing the position, plus the flag officer selected from the guards, twenty sergeants with guns, one hundred crossbows and Tunding, the military crossbows and earth-shaking thunder stored in the warehouse, under the perseverance, the defense of the Tartars is not a big problem.

Just when Shiguantun and Laoyangkou were in a hurry, the Tartar cavalry who had broken through the canyon and jumped thunder had already probed their brains to Shiguan and probed for movement behind the ruins and rocks.

In order not to be like last time, when Xiao Xiao attacked the back road grain road, this time Ta Wolf Wa Ke had already prepared, two thousand cavalry guarded the entrance of the canyon, and three thousand cavalry followed into the canyon; Anyway, the area under the stone mountain is narrow and long, and there are not enough warriors to place.

When the gold-painted black triangular flag that symbolizes the status of Tawolf Vana appeared in Shiguan, it was already noon, and the Mongolian Tartars who shouted neighing horses did not rush to the mountain to kill them recklessly like last time, but camped on the spot and released a ranger guard.

The stone fort of the Quarry No. B, the iron box that slipped open under the female wall, the lid of the box had been opened, revealing the neat projectiles and earth-shattering thunder inside, and the shotguns with grenades were screwed on, holding in the hands of several sergeants.

In the binoculars, Xiao Ye looked at the rows of wooden stakes erected at the bottom of the mountain, and the Tiger Venerable Cannon was placed in the open space behind him, and his head suddenly became big.

Unexpectedly, the Tartar actually had artillery, and there was no need for trebuchets, Xiao Ye, who had a solemn face, threw the telescope to Lei Xiaoqing, "Heizi, tell everyone, pay attention to the artillery under the mountain, hide yourself,"

The sergeants in the stone fort plus the personal guards, as well as the forty sergeants brought by Uncle Wang, were less than 100 people, and there were more than 20 craftsmen.

Xiao Liuzi, Zhang Zichang, and the five flag officials standing next to Baihu are also not good-looking, where did the Tiger Zun cannon come from, everyone knows it, let the Tartars make it themselves, jokes, no ten or eight years can be made?

Fortunately, the stone fort is so strong that even the trebuchet can't be damaged, otherwise everyone would have panicked and suggested retreating, so why would they still stand here leisurely and watch the excitement.

Wang Dali went to the stone fort of Jiazi, and depending on the situation, the Tartars would not retreat for a while, and the food of the soldiers and craftsmen in front of him was his business, and it was not difficult for the five men to deal with it.

Six Huzun bronze cannons were placed on the leveled earthen platform, the muzzle of the cannon was inclined to Shiguantun, and more than 30 Han people wearing leather jackets, under the supervision of the Tartar soldiers, were busy erecting triangular wedges and laying artillery bell piles; When you come down, you just fill the muzzle with gunpowder and projectiles.

The high-spirited Ta Wolf Wa, wearing thick chain mail, wearing a long jacket to block the wind, shaking the pigtails of his head, and his long face was cold, "This time, I vow to take Shiguantun, and I will never stop until I kill all the Ming troops on the mountain, none of those craftsmen can be left behind, and they will all be captured,"

The guards around him, wearing brass nail armor and carrying a scimitar at his waist, carried a three-eyed fire system in his hand, were more elite than a few commanders on the side, and of course, if Tawolf Wa had the rear-loading fire/gun in the hands of Dayan Khan's guards, his waist would be straighter.

But the rear-loading gun/gun was expensive, and the projectiles were also incredibly expensive, and the Tawolf Tile could not be equipped, and Dayan Khan could not give it to him, and he had to take away the only thirty or so he had; Therefore, the tower wolf tile, which has never forgotten the fire/gun in Shiguan, reappeared in Shiguan.

Pulling out the thorns of the Ming border army and snatching away those craftsmen, how could he forget it, and even Lanaite was taken away, with a face of wanting to eat alone.

At sunset, the artillery prepared at the foot of the mountain began to roar, "Tongtong, Tongtong," and the Huzun cannon that retreated violently spit out a large puff of gray-white gunsmoke, prompting bursts of smoke and dust on the ground, and hitting the bowl-sized iron projectiles on Shiguantun, and the target was the quarry stone fort.

Six iron balls smashed over, three of them swept overhead, I don't know where they flew, and the other three iron balls snapped and hit the fort wall, so that the sergeant hiding under the female wall shook slightly, and Peng and Peng fell to the ground.

The surface of the fort wall was only smashed out of three shallow white spots, which made Xiao Ye, who was worried about the stone fort, suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, and the flag officials next to him also squatted there hehe, not to mention, the yellow plaster is really powerful, no wonder the three major merchants are full of energy to produce.

The artillery roared two teas, wasted dozens of iron balls, and only detonated seven or eight thunderbolts at the mountain crossing, and nothing else was found. The tall quarry stone fort is safe and sound.

After dark, there was no movement in the camp of the Tartars at the foot of the mountain, and they began to rest and eat, and wait for the official war to begin tomorrow; With the Tawa wolf who is preparing for a large-scale fight, the hand that is not ready to carry out a night attack will lose face if the gains outweigh the losses, so it is better to fight in a dignified manner.

It's just that more than a dozen Tartar rangers, on the way to the back mountain, were blown up by the thunder and made the ghost cry wolf, and returned to the camp in a slippery way, which made the Tawa wolf very angry, and scolded for letting the wounded be dragged out, and slashed with a knife.

Since you don't remember to eat or fight, then you don't have to be beaten, and you can change to a smarter warrior to be a scout.

The next day, having eaten jerky and drunk mare's milk wine, a group of Tartars came out of the camp and began to assemble in the clearing at the foot of the mountain, making a mess like a large mutual market, but trading their own lives.

The artillery in a row began to explode again, the iron balls whistled and flew up the stone mountain, and in front of the Tartar formation, more than a dozen biao-shaped men drove more than 30 healthy cattle and drove to the stucco road on the mountain to the west; Hauge, Tawolfwa's henchman, gave the captain a good idea to use the ox to break into the minefield of the Ming army, detonate the damn mine that could jump out, and the warriors who followed behind would be safe.

With large bundles of ghee-soaked felt cloth on their tails, sharp knives and daggers tied to their horns, the cattle slowly came to the foot of the mountain at the sound of the Tartars' shouts; A dozen torches lit up violently, and the faces of the Tartars smirked.

"Boom, boom," the healthy oxen whose tails were lit screamed, and rushed up the hill as they squeezed each other, and some of them got into the vine grass and did not move; The Tartar swordsman, the archer, and the slowly moving fire commander behind him raised their feet to follow.

"Bump, boom; Bump, boom, "On the mountainside, there was an explosion of thunder on the stucco road, and the healthy cattle who were scratched by shrapnel became more and more crazy, some turned their heads and were squeezed into the vine grass, and some rushed to the mountain.

A few healthy cows that turned around and ran back were stabbed to death to death in the blink of an eye by the Tartar soldiers who had already prepared, several spears were raised, and dragged back to eat meat at noon.

The fire bull broke into battle, the art of war of our Han ancestors was used by the Tartars, and Xiao Ye, who was speechless in the stone fort, could only wave his hand, "On the flag team, since the Tartars have used the art of war, let's fight hard,"

The sergeants huddled behind the women's wall immediately rose to their feet at the shouts of the flag officer, and the rifles in their hands were placed between the stone stacks, and the sound of the bolt loading was loud; Five sergeants with big shoulders and round waists and full arm strength half-squatted outside the corridor, took out the earth-shaking thunder from behind, and put them in front of them, the fire ropes in their hands were wet.

"Bump, boom; Bump, boom, "The continuous explosion of thunder jumped over the herd, and the herd of cattle that rushed up the mountain was easily brought down, and the minefield outside the low gable wall was basically destroyed, and the hideous-looking Tartar soldiers rushed up after it.

At the bottom of the mountain, the sound of artillery has stopped, not that the tower wolf tile cherishes the artillery, it is not that the cannonballs are not enough, but the bronze barrel is too hot, and the rifled artillery will be finished without cooling down and exploding.

"Bah, Woo, Woo, Woo," "Peng, Peng Peng" The crisp sound of gunshots, messy fire/gunfire, and muffled shotgun sounds roared on the mountain, including Xiao Ye, more than seventy sergeants, divided into two rows, took turns to shoot, and soon played a rhythm.

During the period, the guns and grenades were mixed in, and it was a small earth-shattering thunderbolt that followed the Tartar soldiers and tried to sneak attack, and the fire commander screamed and screamed, threw down the stumps and wounded soldiers, and ran down the mountain with the fire commander rolling and rolling.

The projectiles and warheads were like invisible drizzles, densely smashing the round shields, leather armor, and a small amount of iron armor of the Tartars, and the crowd of Tartars a hundred paces away kept being planted and trampled under the feet of their companions behind.

Ta Wolf is fierce, and his opponents are no exception, as soon as he makes a move, he is a 500 Tartar soldiers, and behind him is his own 100-person fire command team, which seems to want to quickly kill the Ming army on the mountain; However, this kind of shocking attack scene in other places, facing the high fort wall, is like the waves crashing on the shore, and it is not the reef on the shore that is broken.

Ignoring the dead and alive Tartar soldiers in front of them, they howled loudly in their mouths and rushed forward with all their might, and the blood bursting out of their sides and feet made the killing flames in their hearts even more vigorous. Occasionally, I step on a tartar that misses a thunderbolt, and as long as my legs and feet continue, I must continue to climb forward.

The crowd of people who rushed up desperately soon approached the low gable, and on the clearly visible stone castle opposite, a suona suddenly sounded; In the puzzled eyes of the Tartars, crackling black dots falling from the sky kept throwing down with sparks and falling to their feet.

"Ah, hide," the Tartar veteran, who had seen the power of the earth-shattering thunder, screamed in horror, pushing away his partner and about to retreat, but the surging flow of people and the narrow terrain did not give them this chance.

"Boom, boom, boom" The earth-shattering thunders that kept smashing over exploded one after another, and the continuous explosions, dense shrapnel, simply crushed the persistence of the Tartar soldiers; The five centurions, in particular, were killed by rifles on the fort wall, and the remnants of the Tartars began to retreat.

"Bah, Woo, "Peng Peng", the sergeants had no mercy for the Tartar soldiers who showed their backs, and they shot one shot at a time, leaving a corpse on the mountain road, and the blood slowly flowed down the mountain.

Next year, the vine grass under Yamashita will grow more vigorously.

In the cave under the fort wall, thirty sergeants and craftsmen listened to the constant roar of fire/guns overhead, and their eyes glanced at Zhang Zichang in the corridor from time to time; was reserved for the taste of reserve troops, and like Zhang Zichang, their hearts were pounding.

In one morning, Tawolfwa sent three waves of warriors attacking, 500 men each time, but each time the Tartars who came back from a rout were less than 200 men, and most of them were killed by firearms. The most fatal flaw of the refueling tactic is that it cannot concentrate a large number of troops, and it is just a matter of sending them to death.

Before I knew it, the last wave of Tartar soldiers rushed up with a strange scream in the sound of constantly bombarded artillery, and the primitive prototype of infantry artillery coordination was actually taken out by the Tartars.

However, the sticky blood under their feet, the corpses all over the ground, and the wounded soldiers on the ground who reached out for help made the Tartars' attacks weak, and as soon as they encountered the earth-shattering thunder, they immediately dispersed.

The sergeant standing behind the female wall and shooting desperately downwards encountered the bombardment of the cannonballs, and two iron balls with full accuracy smashed obliquely into the fort wall, with a clattering sound of bones and flesh, and sticky blood splashed.

The eight sergeants standing on the easternmost side, together with the flag officer, were smashed into a blur of flesh and blood by the iron ball, and they saw that they were hopeless, and even the rifles in their hands were smashed into several pieces. Xiao Ye's personal guards were directly destroyed by artillery for the first time, and nearly ten people were injured.

"Spread out, don't huddle together," as Lei Xiaoqing shouted, the sergeants who were standing behind the women's wall and shooting desperately widened the distance between them.

The jumping projectile even rolled down the fort wall and smashed in front of the craftsmen hiding in the hiding hole, smashing the hard stucco ground into a shallow pit.

The power of the cannonballs is as powerful as ever, but the sergeants standing on the fort wall have no time to pay attention to the comrades next to them, as long as they still have weapons in their hands, bullets, and projectiles, they must pull the trigger as soon as possible, even if they are splashed with flesh and blood.

Soon, the medics rushed forward with the craftsmen, but the sergeant, who had a protective suit close to him, was hit by a cannonball and was basically helpless.

A mutilated corpse was carried down the corridor by the craftsmen, and Zhang Zichang, who was standing close to the fortress wall, had bloodshot eyes.

The sun was moving northwest, the Tartars finally retreated, and the gunfire and explosions on the mountain gradually stopped. Even the Tiger Zun Cannon under the mountain no longer roared.

There is no need to count the number of people, and it can be seen at a glance that the Tawa wolf, who has suffered heavy losses, jumped like thunder, and whipped the two commanders who were kneeling on the ground and was covered with scars; However, the stone fort on the hill in front of him was like a huge stone thorn, which made him lose his temper.

Set fire, since the attack was unfavorable, then use the means of the Han people, a fire burned out, and with an order, ten carts full of sulfur and fierce fire oil were pulled to the foot of the mountain and splashed on the vines and grass full of residual snow.

The torches were thrown into the vine grass, and at the foot of the mountain, which was full of dead grass and fallen leaves, the ignited oil and sulfur, and the smoke of the fire, burned the vine grass branches and leaves, and finally burned violently in the cold wind.

The fire took advantage of the wind, and the withered vines and grasses piled up on the residual snow burned in smoke; However, the further the fire burned, the smaller the fire became, and the branches of the vine and grass, which were not easy to burn, soon extinguished the flames, and the grains of fruit that were not usually seen in the ashes were revealed blackly.

The sharp thorns that fell from the branches were not burned, but were wrapped in a pile of ash, making it even more difficult to find.

After a long time, the fire attack that Tawa wolves had high hopes for, ended in a hurry, and the Tartars holding torches watched helplessly as the black smoke on the mountainside gradually dissipated.

On the stone fort, Xiao Ye, who was leaning against the women's wall, was panting with gunsmoke, holding a water bag and drinking non-stop, today his own sergeant lost seven, and one was seriously injured, probably also disabled. However, outside the low gable under the stone fort, the large clearing was sprinkled with the corpses of the Tartars.

Listening to the wails of the wounded Tartar soldiers below, Xiao Ye suddenly felt very enjoyable, which made him feel quite uneasy, when was he so calm, he didn't even care about the life of the Tartars.

Thick smoke rose from the bottom of the mountain, mixed with the sound of crackling flames rising, and Xiao Ye didn't need to look up to know that the Tartar was playing the trick of burning the mountain again; Burn it, the walls on the mountain are all made of plaster, let alone this stone fort.

The burned vine grass will be more lush next year, and the overlapping and sharp stingers will be even sharper.

Wang Dali has already experimented, rattan grass is not easy to burn, in order to deal with the spread of rattan grass, he and the craftsmen have tried a variety of methods, but only Coptis chinensis has a curbor of rattan grass, other methods are basically ineffective.

If the site is cleaned up in a short period of time, if there is no shelter from Coptis chinensis, the vine grass will be covered again in a few days, but there is no infinite waste of manpower.

The cold wind blew in the soot, and the people sitting under the female wall gasping didn't care at all, only Xiao Ye's resentment towards the Tartar was deeper.

Wait, when the sergeant in my hand has saved up enough numbers, there will be a battle with you on the grassland, Xiao Ye held the rifle with a hot barrel, gritting his teeth and screaming. If he doesn't let himself have a life in peace, he won't let it go easily.
